"The past week or so has been a challenging one for Barcelona centre-back Ronald Araujo, with his costly mistake against Chelsea putting him under intense scrutiny. The 26-year-old defender ended up missing the weekend La Liga clash vs Deportivo Alaves due to a stomach bug, although it is understood that he has been severely affected by his error against Chelsea, and the club staff preferred that he take a break."
"When asked about Araujo's situation earlier today in his press conference, Barcelona manager Hansi Flick did not give much away, saying: "Ronald isn't ready, it's a private matter, and I don't want to say any more. I'd ask you to respect that, it's all I can and will say." Furthermore, Araujo's agents, Edoardo Crnjar and Edoardo Mazzolari, held a meeting with Barça sporting director Deco today as well to discuss the defender's situation."
